Nürnberg Falcons BC, formerly called Nürnberger BC (abbreviated as NBC) is a basketball club based in Nuremberg, Germany. The club currently plays in the ProA, the German professional second division. In 2010–11 Nürnberg was promoted from the ProB to the ProA.^[1] In 2019, Nürnberg finished as runner-ups in the ProA.

The club play their home games since 2021 in the newly built Kia Metropol arena which has a capacity of 4,000 people.

The "Franken Hexer" was founded in 2002 as a "joint project of several Middle Franconian clubs to promote young basketball talents". The newly founded club started with a men's team in the lowest league (district class) as well as a male U16 and U18 team. The men's teams were also explicitly intended for young players.

In 2016, the name was changed to Falcons.

In the 2018–19 ProA season, Nürnberg ended in third place in the standings. In the playoffs it defeated second-seeded Heidelberg to qualify for the ProA finals. Because of this achievement, the team earned promotion to the Basketball Bundesliga (BBL) for the first time.^[2] In May 2019, it was announced that Falcons did not obtain a license for the BBL due to not meeting requirements on minimum arena size and minimum budget.^[3]
